InStyle’s dual-white 12-watt LED strip lights use the same high-quality Epistar 3014 paired LEDs as our high-power 24W dual-white LED tapes, but with only half the LEDs mounted per metre (60 diodes p.m., not 120 p.m.). So they draw only half the power. Use 12W dual-white LEDs for feature-lighting and highlights, and the brighter 24W LEDs for task-lights and main room lighting.

12-watt dual-white lighting is a colour-temperature changing (CCT) LED tape. InStyle’s CCT LEDs use commercial-grade SMDs, each of which houses both a warm-white and a pure-white chip for superior colour mixing. By adjusting their light mix, your LEDs can create any shade of white light.

With 60 dual-white 3014 LEDs per metre, this colour-temp changing tape draws 12 watts per metre with 50,000 hours of continuous-use life.

Tape cut points are every 125mm – and InStyle offer a cutting and soldering service, so we’ll make up your order to the exact lengths your project needs, no matter the size. This LED tape is also available in waterproof versions (IP65- or IP67-rated), so it can be installed externally, or in bathrooms and other wet locations. InStyle’s water-resistant LED tape is sealed with a heatshrink coating, which not only protects against moisture but also makes cleaning easier.

InStyle Deliveries & Warranty

InStyle LED Deliveries

InStyle LED uses DPD as our delivery courier.

Most products are in-stock for next-day delivery. LED tape orders that require cutting/soldering, and some custom-order products, may require a longer lead time. (Availability of custom-order products can be found on the relevant product page.)

Orders are usually delivered between 8am and 4pm. When placing your order, you can upgrade to a pre-10.30am delivery if you wish.

We can also arrange a Saturday delivery or send your goods directly to site – please just ask!

For this type of LED tape you will require just a transformer to get this working. You connect the starter lead coming out of one end. This is then wired to the transformer, red wire goes to the + terminal and the pure-white & warm-white wires both go to the -ve terminal. The cable can be extended as required, if you need to mount the transformer further away.

IP67-rated LED tapes (heatshrink coated) are required in areas where you will need resistance to water. For example bathrooms, kitchens and exterior. The heatshrink version is waterproof but it cannot be submersed, for example in a pond. InStyle’s IP67 heatshrink is a protective coating over the LED tape, this makes it easy to wipe to clean etc.

All of our LED strips are cuttable. Each can be cut at various points, either 50mm,100mm,150mm or 200mm depending on whitch wattage version you have. We can either cut the lengths to your specific lengths as required or you can do this yourself. Once cut to length to join this to a transformer or another piece you will need to be capable of soldering, or if not we also supply 2 types of clips. One type is a starter lead clip, which is s clip that joins onto the off cut and has a cable coming out of it. The other clip is a ‘tape to tape clip’, this clip joins 2 pieces together.

LED strips are designed to be very flexible. Their PCBs (printed circuit boards) are so robust that many LED tape products can be bent up to 90 degrees with no difficulty.

Be aware that higher-power LED strips are less flexible than lower-power ones. This is because the LED modules are placed closer together on high-power strips, and require wider PCBs (for more heat dispersal).
